Solano Community College is a tradition in Solano County.  Established in 1945 as Vallejo Junior College, Solano was part of the Vallejo Unified School District until 1967 when the College became a countywide institution.  The 192-acre campus, centrally located just off Interstate 80, was completed in 1971 and opened with 5,000 students.  Since then, facilities, programs, staff and services have expanded to meet the growing needs of a growing county.
